Regal, yet Reasonable!

In any action movie, let’s take James Bond for example, there’s always a Plan A, and a subsequent Plan B. Plan A is always embellished, and almost too perfect. Plan A however always fails. That’s when Plan B steps in. Plan B is reliable, and just as effective as Plan A. Plan B also makes for much more interesting movies… and watches! That’s right, Plan B is a series of watches designed to show the watch world that there’s always a better, cooler, and more effective alternative to the luxurious extravagance of Plan A.

Designed to compete in terms of quality and build with the highest and most reputed watch brands in the business, Plan B aims showing that even a start-up can deliver a quality product with the finest craftsmanship in the watch world. It does the impossible by putting Affordable and Luxury, both in the same sentence. The series of watches rival the most high-end watches with their precisely manufactured stainless steel construction. The dials take inspiration from classic 1950s french watchmaking, with its smooth round shape. The domed glass that sits on top is made of crystal mineral, while the insides are Swiss Ronda with 4 jewels. Even though the watches go head-on with luxury timepieces, they come with a casual yet svelte side too. The watches ship with a canvas fabric strap for those lazy Sundays, and a metallic mesh strap so you look absolutely dapper at work… and that’s amazing for a watch with such incredibly affordable pricing!

Lovestruck by a Concept Truck! Vol.2

audi_truck_b_1

What I loved about Artem and Vladimir’s Audi Truck project was that once they were done, they couldn’t select a final design. They loved both the designs too much! I see their problem. The Audi Truck Plan B is a successor to day before’s wildly popular Plan A truck design article. Plan B is different in not just the aesthetic, but also usage. Designed as an Electric autonomous ‘show’ truck, the aesthetic of this concept is much more curvy and reminiscent of Daniel Simon’s design style (subjectivity alert!).

So, Yanko family. Which one’s your favourite?? Plan B? or Plan A?

Designers: Artem Smirnov & Vladimir Panchenko.

Ask Engadget: best ‘Find my Phone’ app for Android?

Ask Engadget best Find my Phone app for Android

We know you've got questions, and if you're brave enough to ask the world for answers, here's the outlet to do so. This week's Ask Engadget inquiry is coming to us from Jacob, who needs to ensure he can find his Android phone if it's lost. If you're looking to send in an inquiry of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com.

"Hi good folks at Engadget! I just upgraded to a Galaxy S III and I need a new "find my phone" tool. I used to use SeekDroid on my DROID 2, but the web interface won't work on the new phone. I know Samsung's got an app called DIVE that can do this, but it doesn't seem to be supported on Verizon phones. If you've got any suggestions, that'd be fantastic. Thanks!"

Actually, we had a look and we don't think it's available on any US Samsung handset without flashing your firmware. But let's imagine he doesn't want that level of hassle. What app should he be picking up? Where's my Droid? Plan B? Something else? What's worked for you -- share your wisdom.
